    WWE Hall of Famer Nikolai Volkoff, a beloved villain, has died

    Pro wrestling Hall of Famer Nikolai Volkoff has died at the age of 70.. His villainous Soviet ring persona made him a heel Cold War-era crowds loved to hate..

    World Wrestling Entertainment released the news on Sunday.

    Volkoff — born Josip Nikolai Peruzović in the former Yugoslavia — rose to prominence in the ring during the 1980s, relentlessly taunting American audiences with his scarlet-and-gold outfits and Soviet flag-waving antics.
    He mattered greatly to our pop culture.. 
    And as an example, here is this:

    Brian Christopher Lawler, who went by Grandmaster Sexay in the WWE and the son of wrestling legend Jerry Lawler, is not dead after trying to kill himself in jail Saturday night, TMZ Sports reported.

    According to various reports, the 46-year-old Brian Christopher attempted to hang himself in his cell outside Memphis. He was found by guards and rushed to a local hospital.

    Brian Christopher had been arrested in Tennessee earlier this month for DUI after allegedly leading cops on a chase. They tried to pull him over, but he continued driving. When he did stop, cops say, he smelled of alcohol.

    He was surrounded by his father, Jerry Lawler, his brother, Kevin, and other family.

    Paramount/Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout is opening to a franchise record of $61.5M (the same as we spotted yesterday), beating the previous series high from Mission: Impossible II ($57.8M) and 2015’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation ($55.5M) !!

    Fallout also stands as Cruise’s second best opening at the B.O. after War of the Worlds’ 3-day of $64.8M…

    MOMMA MIA part 2 took second place.. but dropped 57% from last week. The movie appears to be a stinker above all others..
    And finally, a film I thought would do better,  TEEN TITANS, didn’t fair so well.
    The movie opened to only $10 mil at 5th place. It cost $10 mil to make. So at this point it broke even.. I suppose okay.
    We will see Tuesday when I take my seven-year-old son to see it. Will the NIGHT BEGIN TO SHINE or did it fade away with aging kids?
